Another day another dollar

After a very relaxing weekend it’s back to the ole grind. I know it Thursday and almost time for another week end but I really haven’t had time to blog until now. I had a great weekend. Friday I got off work two hours early with pay. I am sad to say that right after I left my supervisor texted me to tell me she had gotten me a red velvet cupcake. I have the best co-workers. Because I had the entire afternoon off I went to East Lake to visit with Jeremy. We washed our cars. My car had bird poop all over it so it was nice for it to finally be clean. The rest of my weekend was nice and slow. Saturday I did go see 101 Dalmatians. By far the WORST musical I have ever seen. The story wasn’t the one I’m used to. Yeah, I get that it was based off the book and not the Disney move but come on! The songs were stupid, the theatre was loud and distracting, and out of the whole row of kids sitting in front of us, I got the seat behind the tallest man in the world. Well, maybe not the tallest man in the world but he was pretty freaking tall. The people playing people were on stilts and some of the actors couldn’t walk very well in them and they just looked like they would fall over at any moment. The only plus to the show was when the real Dalmatians ran across the stage and at the end when they did a bunch of tricks. It was really neat because they were all rescue dogs. After the show we went to Botega café. That was the part of the evening I was looking forward to. It ended up being a really nice night.

I was off Monday. That was really nice. Tuesday and Wednesday were pretty busy days. I didn’t even have time to get in a chapter in my book. The one I’m reading, not the one I’m writing. I don’t think I’ll ever write a book. ANYWAY, I actually had work to do. Tuesday I got a call from a participant’s daughter looking for the girl whose job I took over. I told her that she doesn’t work here any more and the daughter proceeded to tell me that her mother, the participant had died the day before. Now, I had practiced this type of call, I even sat in the week before on this type of call. But those were thing that you could prepare for and have time to wrap your thoughts around. This was a “catch you off guard” type call. I tried my best to gather all the info I could and I was difficult to hear the sadness in the voice of the daughter. Notifications of Deaths are not that common in this study and we had two in two weeks. After the first one my boss told me that I wouldn’t have to worry about it for a while. Not true. I think given the circumstances I handled myself fairly well.

This warm weather is making me realize that spring is approaching fast and if I want to be swimsuit ready then I need to get my butt moving and shed these winter pounds. My original thought was to do Tae Bo in the morning and Yoga before bed. But after the first two mornings of hitting the snooze button I realized that that wasn’t going to happen so now I’m going to do yoga in the morning and Tae Bo at night and then light yoga before bed. I think yoga in the morning is a great idea because I feel relaxed and awake and calm. Namaste.

I still have time to blog.

Another week at the new job proves to be more eventful than the last two holiday weeks but still not much for me to do. I had a bigger part in the clinics and have been to a few meetings and now have the duties of making the breakfasts for the participants. But still, some days there is just nothing to do. For instance, Monday, I got to work at 6:30AM for our 7AM clinic. (We have to be there 30min before our first participant.) We had a busy day as far as clinics go. Clinic was over at around 12:15 and then I went to lunch with my mom. After lunch I came back to my office and had nothing to do the rest of the day. So I read this book I have been trying to finish since summer. I read from about 1:15 to about 5:45. At around 5:45 the lights in my office suit went out. It wasn’t the power because my computer was still on. But the light went out and it was very dark and scary because I was the only one left still here. I took that as my queue to leave. I went home and to bed. The next day was definitely more productive. Still, my day wasn’t packed. I’m not sure it ever will be. On Tuesdays I go teach private voice after work. My students were all back this time. So, I was exhausted when I got home. Today in clinic we only had one participant scheduled and my boss wanted me to take him to get practice. I think it went well and I feel good about it. Our participants are very nice and understanding. It makes this learning process very easy.

I’ve been seeing my last love quite often. He tells me that things are on the right track to start seeing each other again. We are practically together already without the title. I still wonder if he’s just keeping me along until he finds someone better. I hope that’s not the case because I and head over heals for him. I just don’t want to get hurt again. I was devastated when he broke up with me this summer. I didn’t eat for a week and I cried when I went to sleep at night and I cried when I woke up the following morning. I don’t want to go through that again. I’m just not strong enough to say this isn’t a good idea. I do want to get back together. I want things to workout. I want him to be sweet to me like he is now. I want that all the time. I think I’m good enough for it. But we will see what happens.

I don’t know where my roommate has been. She hasn’t been at the house in the past 6 weeks, except maybe for a couple of nights. And when I say a couple I mean 2, the exact meaning of the word couple. Hmm. I don’t know.

Well, time for a meeting.
